I'm too lazy to write the keys, but yall already know em. If there are mistakes (i.e I say "blue eyes" instead of (e/c) eyes for (Y/N), please correct me. If you see a comment that already stated it, leave a comment saying nice job, that way I can see it and correct the typo so other readers can enjoy the reading.)

(N/n)- Nickname

In this story, I will be making Izuku's mom, Inko, look the same as to when Izuku was 4 years old. Also, a bit of the ages of some characters might change a bit, to fit the story a bit better. The reason why will be explained in the A/N. Until then, PLUS ULTRA!

(Y/N) POV

"Hey, how's it going, (y/n)." Izuku greeted me, his smile causing the butterflies in my stomach to flutter.

"Just the usual, what about you, Izu-kun?" I responded gleefully.

"Haha, just getting by. You know how Kacchan is."

Izu-kun, or known to others, as Midoriya Izuku, is my bestfriend and the boy I grew to love. Ever since I was little, I was always stuck in my bed, bored out of my mind, as I wasn't allowed outside without supervision, and let me tell you, nurses are always annoyingly busy.

One day, when I was allowed to go out as a child, I met this adorable cinnamon roll. He was going to an appointment with a doctor, in hopes on finding out what quirk he would be able to get. I, of course, was interested as well, seeing as how I never really knew kids my age outside of the hospital.

I shyly asked him if I could go with him, and he agreed. After that, we quickly became friends. When he talked with his doctor, and found out he was quirkless, I was just as devastated as well. My first friend, the only friend I ever had, didn't have a quirk. The reason why I was just as devastated as he was, was because I had a quirk, and he didn't. Someone like me, who is useless, who wasn't allowed to leave a goddamn hospital, was blessed enough to have a quirk, while someone who had a future in the real world, didn't.

After that day, he would come by and visit me every chance he had. Everyday and everytime, he talked about what he saw outside of the hospital. This continued for 10 years, and as the time past, I started developing feelings for him. However, I knew I couldn't tell him how I felt because of the position I was in. I wanted him to be happy, and to live a normal life with someone else. I wanted him to fall in love with someone who he could hold cherishly, someone who wasn't sick,
someone who wasn't... me.

"Hey, (N/n)-chan, I... have something important to tell you." Izu's eyes darted everywhere but to me. I knew he was hesitating to tell me, something in his eye kept telling me he was worried for me, but I kept my smile up.

"What is it, Izu-kun?"

"I-I.." Izu stammered before suddenly blurting "IMIGHTNOTBEABLETOVISITYOUMUCHANYMORE"

I looked at him in confusion, and asked, "Sorry, can you repeat that again Izu-kun? I didn't quite catch that." his eyes looked at me, his green colored orbs looking straight into my eyes for a moment, before lowering his head to the ground.

"I...I might not be able to visit you much... anymore." He repeated slowly

Time moved slower and slower, my eyes widening, as what he said started to process in my mind.

'He's leaving me.' Was the first thought I had. Tears pricked the corner of my eyes. I looked away, knowing that if I met his beautiful emerald eyes. I wouldn't be able to hold back my tears. I wanted to cry, so so badly.
